What pills will make me social and confident?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Now I'm trying to get better and not dwell on my sadness or worry's. I want to start going out and start doing things again. I know it's a little late for that but I'm sure I can make it work. A small career, my ID, drivers license, Therapy, medication. I'm willing to try anything to get better. Any good thing no drugs or alcohol or smoking I never was interested in that. It's bad and only causes more problems. I don't need more problems. I want suggestions. What works for you? My main problem for not being out on public is I'm unable to relax. I went out once I was very tense and uncomfortable I just wanted to get out and run out of the place and go home. I'm so abrupt I fear I can get a panic attack and feel so bad I will leave impulsively and get run over by a vehicle because I don't think. I just panic and want to flee. Any suffers would be great. I would appreciate it very much. So far I've tried Therapy but my therapist's would end up leaving me. One went to another state and the other one got a promotion. So I got tired... It's not easy to be talking about my past. I feel all my problems are caused by it. I don't trust anyone. I fear everyone has bad intentions towards me. I always misinterpret things. I've also tried hypnotherapy did it a couple of times thought it wasn't working because the whole time I was awake I thought I had to be asleep. I tried Paxil when I was in college but sometimes I would have to up the dose by myself to get through the day. It's very hard living like this. Always tense, worried, over thinking everything some things others probably don't think about. It's tiring.. I get tired of myself. I dwell too much on the past but the past is that... Past. I won't get it back. I only have the Present. It su**s it gets to me. I have regret. I regret not getting more help. Therapy, tried more medication, possibly even leave to another city far away to visit a therapist that helped my mother. The therapist changed her for the better. I also think it's not about getting the help and leaving the therapist we need to keep on going so we won't hit bottom again.
Anyways my bad for writing too much. Please leave your suggestions if you have any. I would like to know if there's anything that will calm me down? I have Severe Anxiety I get panic attacks when I go out in public. So I don't do it. I avoid everyone. Even my family.

Hi 999!
I am sorry your going through a rough time as I am too at the moment. I would suggest seeing your doctor and telling them about your panic attacks in social situations, they might be able to prescribe you something short acting like Xanax that you can take when you are in situations that make you uncomfortable. I tried therapy for a few years off and on and I found it to be kind of repetitive and it didn't make that much of a difference for me. But that's just my experience, I know a lot of people that benefit from CBT.
Something that helps me sometimes before I start my day or have to be in a situation where I am around a lot of people are confidence hypnosis sessions (you can find a ton on YouTube) or affirmation recordings. I haven't been using them too much lately because I have been really busy but when I was they made a BIG difference and I could notice myself being more confident in social situations.
I hope this helps and if you ever need to talk we're all here to listen.

Thank you for your response. I will try that. I've taken Xanax before but I might need to up the dose to the maximum to go out. Thanks👍

I take Klonopin, it's a longer lasting one that doesn't make you feel as tired... maybe you can try that?
